WILLEMSTAD - KLM's price increases as a result of rising fuel prices have no consequences for flight operations between Amsterdam, Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire. KLM regional manager Dirk Buitelaar confirms this.
KLM announced last week that fares to faraway destinations will go up from Friday. According to the airline, the price increase depends on the destination and travel class.
A return ticket to one of the islands will cost sixty guilders more, a single journey forty guilders. In the business class the prices will go up by 200 and 140 guilders.
People who have already booked a ticket do not have to worry about the price increases. “The general rate increase applies to all newly booked tickets, the tickets that have already been sold remain the same unless they are changed,” said Buitelaar.
According to the KLM regional manager, it costs about 270,000 guilders to fill up a 777-300.
